Middle School Unsportsmanlike Conduct by Nonplayer

I agree with all of the above, however (and this depends on the state organization) but I would only call my association commissioner and not the principal or anyone else. The commissioner is our direct liaison to the state athletics/activities association and he will receive the game report and follow up with the ejection. He will then ask/request that the game official issue a written report or a verbal report.

so in short: flag it, eject the coach, march of the 15, write up the report after the game, contact the commissioner within 24 hours and don't talk to anyone else about it. If anyone wants further information, refer them to you commissioner and he'll contact you and leave it at that.

It depends on your state association, but that's how we instruct our guys to handle it.

Why no yardage? It's a UC on the asst. coach & a 15 yard penalty. Ejection would be optional but prefered. Not marking it off is not an option.

One other thing I'd do - right after the game, I'd write up everything and put it in my files. It will come in handy if you have to testify in court.

As an attorney, I'd say that's not a bad idea, however, if I had a client in that situation, I'd advise them to make sure the statements on the write-up are factual, as the document would likely be admitted as evidence. In other words, don't write anything down you don't want others to see, like, say, "the fat-a$$ coach..."
